CHINA HOSTED INDICTED WAR CRIMINAL
(Mr. WOLF asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, China recently rolled out the red carpet,
pictured behind me, for Sudanese President Omar Bashir, an
internationally indicted war criminal facing charges on 10 counts,
including murder, extermination, forcible transfer of population,
torture, and rape.
Prior to the visit, I wrote a letter to President Hu Jintao urging
the Chinese Government to withdraw their invitation. Not only is Bashir
wanted for his role in genocide in Darfur, but, as I speak, atrocities
are unfolding against Christians in the Nuba Mountains--reliable
reports of door-to-door targeting and killings, mass graves, Antonov
bombers indiscriminately shelling civilian populations.
Consider this reality: Bashir is a wanted war criminal. His murderous
aims are unchanged. The Chinese Government treats him as a friend and
extends every diplomatic grace. And China owns our debt.
What is wrong with this picture? An indicted war criminal with the
President of China.
